Problem in reloading pages with IIS 5

Indipendent from client's browser

[doz1972]

I'm using a server with Windows 2000 SP4 and IIS5 to test my sites. When I change a page content and then look at this page in a client (Explorer or Netscape) the page doesn't reload (I see the old version of the page).
It doesn't help refreshing the page, closing the browser or empting the browser cache.
The only solution is to wait some minutes and then the page refreshes.
The problem seems to be server related, because when i open
the changed page with a browser that hasn't still seen the page the problem persists.
If I use another PC (with another internal IP) I see the correct page for the first time, then, if I change the page again, the problem returns.

Hope it's not too confusing...

Thank you

Are you connecting to the server via a proxy? This could cause problems. I suppose it could be IIS caching but I'd look at proxy first.

Oh and welcome to webmasterworld [webmasterworld.com]!

Thanks Stretch,
No I dont'use use any proxy, it's a server
with a 192.168. IP , visible only from my office.

You could try IIS caching, although I've never had problems with this.

In the web server properties tab (i.e right click on the name of the server in the IIS management console) choose edit (master properties) -> home directory (tab) -> configuration (button) -> process options (tab) and select 'do not cache asp files'.

You might also see if disabling compression (master properties -> service) makes a difference.

Not too sure apart from those.

Also, in IE have you got Internet options -> general -> temporary internet files -> settings -> check for newer versions of stored pages set to 'every visit to the page'?

Great,
'do not cache asp files' functions,
obviously for .asp files only.

Anyway I can see .html files without
web server, so the problem is solved.

Thanks
